Martha Graham (1894-1991) has been recognized as one of the most important artistic powers of the 20th century. In 1998 TIME magazine described her "Dancer of the Century" and People magazine included her in the top "20th Century Emblematic Women's Personality". He composed one hundred and eighty-one (181) choreographies and created a dance technique that compares its size and breadth to that of the classic ballet. Her approach to dance and theater was a real revolution for this art, and the pioneering "vocabulary" she devised for physical movement has influenced forever international dance.

Since its inception in 1926, MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE COMPANY has been the world's forerunner in the evolution of modern dance.

Today, the Dance Team has adopted a new vision in its artistic programming which, along with the classic masterpieces of Graham, presents new creations of contemporary, acclaimed choreographers.
